Python IDLE crash on start on Mac

Avery52 · Sep-21-2017, 02:33 PM

I can run idle3 from terminal and open a file from it perfectly.

However, if i try to open a .py file directly with it (via "Open with), it crashes immediately with the following log: https://pastebin.com/raw/c2jrNxh9

Python was installed with brew install python3 --with-tcl-tk and I have tried reinstalling it and restarting OS with no results.
Any idea what could be wrong with it?

Does python itself work? If you type python3 -V, what do you see?
